Batteries
Batteries should be replaced when any of the following occur:
•
low or fl at battery warning tones are heard
•
low or fl at battery help message shows on the display
(H1 or H2)
•
low battery warning (the half lit battery) shows on the
Bodyworn Controller display
•

For information on the warning sounds or indicators, see
Troubleshooting
.
Remove batteries when they are fl at, or when the battery
pack is to be stored for a period of time.
Use only battery types recommended by your clinician or
Cochlear. Other types may not have suffi cient energy to allow
your Nucleus Freedom speech processor to either function
properly or last for a long time.
Never mix fully charged batteries with partially charged ones.
It only takes one low or fl at battery to stop the processor
from working. Similarly, never mix brands or battery types, for
example, zinc air with alkaline batteries.
Warnings:
Flat batteries may leak corrosive fl uids and cause
damage if left inside your Freedom Controller.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with your
local regulations.
Never dispose of batteries in fi re.
